old dee

I am impressed WJ but how did he go today? PS if you have $6 Million who need one?

Thanks Redleg but I missed your advice. Busy today and did go onto Demonland till now. How did it go?

Mainly because I am bored with all the talk about you know who and compensation etc. Do we keep this years clash Jumper or do we get to design a new one? If we change the red can we keep it red not pink or maroon!

Makes for interesting reading. Seems like you are correct. So the "A League" and Carlton.

It is quite simple really. If you do not like this thread then do not come on it!

ok. I might plan a trip to Sandown. Bananas on the museli this morning must be a year since that happened. Well one banana anyway

I cannot believe it that other thread is still going! What can there possibily left to say? Elvis has left the building boys move on. PS miss read that it was pinned this afternoon thank god.

Lets hope for an improvement in Humour!

Just checked the single Malt, almost out. Hope things improve soon all these low moments are costing me a fortune.

A small thought in 2009 Knights got the bombers into an elimination final and they got belted. From that point on he was on borrowed time at the Bombers, he could not coach was the cry. Well a certain Mr. Hird has just accomplished the same feat with a very similar team in 2011. Wonder when he will start to get the blame. Obviously cannot coach!

Add the Geelong v Hawthorn game to that list Redleg and you have my list of my games from the weekend. The overpowering feeling I had was that we have a very long way to go. The winners from the matches I saw were all top four sides and we are 13th. That about covers it. Over the last week I have become a little philosophical. I am used to my team being in this position in September. Will he stay or go? Another new coach to be appointed but who? Who will be given the DCM? Which skinny kid will we draft? Will the Admin. gets its act together? Yep sounds like most Septembers at the MFC. I don't like it but what can I do about it? Bugger all really! So just one short wish. "Please let it be different in 2012" And what's running this week? Did you get the banana smoothie?

It is now 1 hour and 3 minutes that must be a record or is there finally nothing left to say!

Does everyone realise that other thread has not had a comment for 33 minutes!

Thank you Redleg and unfortunately no not much happening. There is a benefit however I do feel calm for the first time in 6 months!

I think the mantle of the young leader at the MFC has now been officially been given to JT. Noticed he was the presenter of the "100% Melbourne" video. Seems an easy decision to me, best young player by a country mile, loyal seems a nice kid and comes over very well. The Vice captainsy looks a shoe in to me

So now all is revealed! Looking at our injury list we should play off for the flag next year! Only joking but it pays to keep your sense of humour around the MFC.

Actually Redleg I am absolutely over the whole thing,life goes on. As for messrs Prendergast and Harrington only if he turns into a flyer down the track. Guys in their jobs are probably fairly steely, win some lose some. Bit like horses mate,some win and others carry children around at horse clubs. By the way, why do the good ones break down but the donkeys run around forever?

I am sure they are all just coincidence Redleg!

Heard Michael Nettlefold from the saints on the SEN this morning. He said they would lose $1.3 million this year. Came in after the start but I thought he said $900 000 was due to playing at ES. He said every year it is like writing a cheque for that amount and posting it to Collo. This is in spite of having 40 000 members, being up near the top of the ladder the last three years and playing in the last 3 GF's. Also said they are way down on FD spending etc. compared to richer clubs. They believe they run a tight ship. Said they would be asking the AFL to play all their home games at G next year. Won't happen but they do not have a contract to play at ES since the "new Deal" a couple of years ago. That surprised me. So how are the likes of the Dees, Dogs, Port and North supposed to compete? Seems like surviving in the future will be hard let alone winning a flag. Perhaps finishing 13th and not making a loss might be a bigger achievment than I thought. Still feels sh--y!

Well it is finally out, most of you out there are cupboard contributors! Hiding away in darkened rooms living a secret life on the Demonland site. Shame on you all. Now is the time to "Come Out"! It is not that hard and you will feel liberate when you do. Just tell your loved ones for a start it is not that hard. This is the best I have felt in 2 months! 36 hours after the Port game it occured to me that I do not have to worry about: - the injury list - team selection - will the coach have a clue this weekend - will Davey final spark up - will the captain have a good game - do we have any chance of winning this weekend. Now I have 4 -5 months of Freedom from worry it is all hope and delusion of a great 2012 before reality sets in around April 2012. Have a good day guys!

Not sure why it is assumed you have to be under 30 to post on a web site. Well my present was a bit more expensive than I thought. Never thought I would see the day when Bananas would be top of my wish list!

speaking of which what is the current price? believe it or not I had some for fathers day breakfast. Present to me by my daughter. We had a good laugh when I said Redleg would be impressed. They Looked at me as though I came from Mars. It took some explaining. Then Perhaps I do!

Had a sneak look at that other thread! It astounds me how much can be written about nothing new.

Well I guess that brings another wonderful season by the MFC to an end. And what a wonderful year it was. We played on average a lot worse than 2010, 6 - 9+ goal losses vs 2 in 2010. We got thrashed by the age old enemy. We went into the record books with a 186 point belting. We sacked a coach during the year. We ended the season with losses to Richmond and Port. Our Captain was next to useless for the majority of the year and the vice captain could not make the side for the last round through poor form. At the finish 13th on the ladder. Yes all in all a wonderful year. But in true Demon fashion there is always next year and the next year and the next year and the next year!

No redleg I did not know they were your horses. But that is the story of my punting life. Unfortunatly it is still a better story than my success in following the Dees
